Room was nice and clean, we had an adjoining room and also outside was the ice machine so it was a little noisy. But for the price and location it was good.

Super close to the beach, only about a 3 minute walk. Awesome places to each near by and cool things to explore. Room was a little underwhelming but was ok. Not very sound proof.

Great stay!

After reading other reviews, I was a little nervous about picking this hotel. Everything turned out fine. Whatever construction had been happening is finished. We had no water pressure issues. The room was a little worn in spots, but clean and comfortable. The location can't be beat. A two-block walk to the beach and 30 minutes to the wharf. It is in a sweet, quiet neighborhood away from some of the hubbub. Is to get to by car and ample parking on site.
